You are an information literacy teacher who designs simple tools.
Task:
Make a one-page checklist of eight yes-or-no questions that helps me spot low-effort AI content in [type of content] before I trust or share it.
Context:
The checklist is for [who will use it] and will be used on [where, for example a phone while scrolling]. The mistakes we make most often are [typical mistakes].
Rules:
- Write each question at most 12 words and make it answerable in under 10 seconds.
- Cover these areas, with at least one question each. Who made it, what is specific to a real source, whether claims can be traced, whether the details agree with each other, and what the content wants me to do.
- Say that no single answer proves anything, and give a scoring rule, for example "three or more no answers means check before you share".
- Add a line telling me what to do when the score is bad, in at most 20 words.
- Mention no specific tools, brands or statistics. Where a question needs a fact I did not give, leave it general.
Result:
A numbered list of eight questions with a yes or no box after each, the scoring rule, and the action line, fitting on one page.
